The next example introduces that algorithm, called gauss method.
This method can also be used to find the rank of a matrix, to calculate the determinant of a matrix, and to calculate the inverse of an invertible square matrix. Gaussian elimination dartmouth mathematics dartmouth college. Solving linear equations by using the gaussjordan elimination method 22. This function will take a matrix designed to be used by the gaussjordan algorithm and solve it, returning a transposed version of the last column in the ending matrix which represents the solution to the unknown variables. Work across the columns from left to right using elementary row operations to first get a 1 in the diagonal position and then to get 0s in the rest of that column. A solution set can be parametrized in many ways, and gauss method or the gaussjordan method can be done in many ways, so a first guess might be that we could derive many different reduced echelon form versions of the same starting system and many different parametrizations.
